He made a million on eBay, and went back to Indiana to buy his drumkit back from Randy Fink. [img]wink.gif[/img]
LOL!!! Good one Stacey!!! LOL!!!
What ever happened to Randy? Did he hit it big with the guy from Decline II and they're now international rock stars? I guess pissing on peeps doesn't pay off when you're playing in the minor leagues, eh?
Did Randy piss on somebody??? I missed that week of the Soap's, I guess.

I though that everything after page 7 (or what-
ever it is) was your lot.
I think you were a bit unfair about glam
bands not churning out decent demos. There's no
excuse for it nowadays of course, but there
was some cracking demos (decent compression and
vitalizer outboard, etc.) coming out of the
bigger cities back in the old dark days of tape.
Saying that, a demo isn't enough anymore. I spent
Friday co-ordinating a four camera shoot for local
new rock band, The Johnsons, who decided to
illegally gig on the pavement until they were
arrested (a'la Beatles and U2, blablabla), and
their manager asked Spark - well, me - to
document it all. At the end of it all, they get
a DVD with i) the news report we'll edit for
Spark, ii) the 30/60 minute documentary of the
day, and also, using the best bits of footage
and some other stuff I've got of theirs here,
a promo vid for one of their CD demos tracks.
A pretty powerful calling card - plus, of course,
all the other local bands and will be jealous and
want to pay us trillions of quid to do one for
them too. Lovely jubley.

No, I was saying that I don't a new band using the excuse of a demo suonding like crap because it is a "demo". If you REALLY care to have a decent sound, it isn't that hard at all to achieve a good sound. Glam, and oddly enough, Prog Rock are two styles of music that just don't evolve with technology. It took Prog and Glam both FOREVER to finally start using the new invention of "MP3" to their advantage. Also, look how bad many Glam bands sites looked for a LONG time.
I have a hard time accepting the production on HTM's stuff for crying out loud. But Jerry Vayne explained why those sound the way they do, and I guess I will accept it. But still, my demos from '93 sound better than those two albums, and we had no following whatsoever, but still cared enough to spend money and time to get the best sound we could. A band in year 2003 (as this was at the time) has no excuse to not turn out a good sounding product. But this guy did explain it wss NOT for public consumption, so that is a viable excuse.
Hell, I can't even remember what it sounded like.
Music evolution to me is invariably productional.
All I want a rock band to do is plug in some amps
and kick ass. If they've pissed away their advance
on coke and booze, as opposed to a decent engineer
and/or website designer, then they've only got
themselves to blame for getting left behind. Then
again, how much money is thrown at glam bands
nowadays? Also, has say the songs that Sixx is
involved with really benefitted from getting Pro
Tools to death, or are they just simply sonically
better?
I'm surprised to hear you say that prog belatedly
evolved, because surely those guys are buying
new synths and fiddling about with computers all
the time?
